London Gable, July 3: Mr.. Blaine
will leave London July Z, to go to Edinburg.
He will be the guest there of Andrew
Carnegie. He leaves London at this date so
at to participate in the ceremonies in honor
of Mr.. Carnegie by the city of Edinburg.
He finds life in London very agreeable. The
than has ever been paid to any American
citizen by the English people with the single
exception of Gen. Grant Blaine has not
received the same official attention as did
Gen. Grant, but the private Inequalities of
the most distinguished pesple of London
have been showered upon him in way that
is surprising when it is considered that he
is generally regarded by the English people
as great enemy to England and one of the
most firm supporters of the cause of Irish
Independence. The American legation here
has also paid Blaine great civilty, and has
procured for HIM invitations to important
official gatherings. The minister has gone
out of his way to show courtesy to him. At
the Legation it is said that diplomatic SER
vice knows no politics, and attentions paid
to Blaine are due him from his prominence
and position at home.

Tue all absorbing interests in
political circles to-day is the muni-
cipal election in Baltimore city.
Both parties are confident of sue
cess--the democrats claim that it is
only matter of majority on their
side, while the Republicans claim it
is only question Of fair election
to insure them success. Upon the
contest to-day will depend the sue
cess of the Democratic State ticket
in November. The canvass has
been one of the most acrimonious
that has been held in the city for

The MEETING OF CONGRESS-
The coming Congress promises to
be one of unusual interest and ac-
tivity, many measures Of great i'm
portance will be brought before that
BODY for its consideration. The
success or defeat of the Democratic
party in the next Presidential con-
test, will depend in great meas
ure upon the action of the coming
Congress, and it will be watched
with scrutinizing eye. Among
the important measures that will
come up for its action, will be a
change in the time for the assem-
bling of Congress, which will be ag-
itated by Congressman Grain. OF
Texas. lie will propose a Consti-
tutional amendment, fixing the
time Of meeting for the Second
Tuesday in January, next succeed
ing the election of members. The
change is a very important one, and
should be made. Under the pres
ent system, the Congressman enters
upon his duties thirteen months
after his selection, by which time
the issue which brought him into
the place has usually been adjusted
and new ones having nothing to do
with his election are up for arrange
ment. Again, in the session begin
ming in December next, little or no
work can be done for six weeks.
By the time the organization has
been completed, the committees APP
pointed and the House is ready for
work the holidays have come and
there must be recess to permit mem
bers to go off aud indulge in the
festivities of the season. Mr.. Grain
thinks the country will approve his
proposition, and he is undoubtedly
correct in the supposition. The
public has long wondered why a
reasonable arrangement was not
made in this matter, and the awk-
ward rule abolished.

phone monopoly, and there is some
prospect that the citizens will win
Lately the telephone company in
creased its rates, and as a protest
against the outrageous charges most
Of the instruments were at once or
dered out. Those who would not
join the popular movement have
been boycotted by the public, and
are being forced to unite with the
people in the fight against the Ii
censed robbery. The company is
trying to arrange the matter, but
the community seems united and
the only adjustment that appears
probable is one based on the return
to the old rates of service. Notices
have been given to the monopoly
that if the instruments are not re-
moved by certain day storage will
be charged at the rate Of 81 per day.

ISAAC SHARP, a Kansas politician
of some pretended influence, gives
the following reasons why that State
will be carried by the Democrats
next year. lie figures the business
out in this way There are two
wings to the Republican Party, one
prohibition, the other high license;
the former has 5een in control, and
has fairly gone mad IN its vain ef-
forts to suppress the liquor traffic;
the other end of the party US thor
oughly disgusted, and is ready TO
act Independently. Sharp says that
next year a prohibition delegation
will be sent to the Republican Ma
tional Convention, and that it will
demand the insertion of a prohibit
tory plank in the platform; as q
matter of course this will be refus-
cd and the result will be that the
straight Republicans and the Pr o.
hibitionists will pull apaat,and run
separate tickets, when the Demo
Gratis will be able to elect theirs.
The programme is very cleverly ar
ranged, aud now if Mr.. Sharp can
induce the parties to follow it, all
will 60 we'll.

Pamela Macarthur Cole in Christmas Wide Awake
Did you know that this familiar phrase, Hob
sons Choice" preserves the memory OF very
good and useful man?
Thomas Hobson was born In lJ44; he was for
sixty years a carrier between Loncon and Cam
bridge, conveying to and from the University let
tiers and packages, also passengers In addition
to his express business he had a livery stable and
let horses 10 the university students He made IL
rule that all the horses should have, according
their ability, proper division OF work and rest
They were taken out In regular order, as they
stood, beginning with the one nearest the door.
No choice was allowed, and II any man refused TO
take the animal assigned him he might go With
out any. That or none. Hence the phrase "Hob-
sons Choice"
In the spring Of 1890 the plague broke out In
England. The colleges OF Cambridge were closed
and among the precautions taken by the authorf-
ties TO avoid injection, Hobson was forbidden TO
go to London.
He died In January 1881, partly, 1t is said, from
anxiety and fretting at his enforced leisure. HOB
son was one of the wealthiest citizens OF Cam
brt 1ge and did much for the benefit OF the city,
to which he left several legaces His death called
forth many poems from members OF the univer-
stty, officers and students among them two by
the poet Milton, then a student at Chrfsts Col
lege.
